// unraw implements a facility to convert raw logs from external sources into
// leveled logs.
//
// This is not the same as raw logging inside the logtree, which exists to
// ingest logs that are either fully arbitrary or do not map cleanly to the
// leveled logging concept. The unraw library is instead made to parse logs
// from systems that also use leveled logs internally, but emit them to a
// serialized byte stream that then needs to be turned back into something
// leveled inside metropolis.
//
// Logs converted this way are unfortunately lossy and do not come with the
// same guarantees as logs directly emitted via logtree. For example, there's
// no built-in protection against systems emiting fudged timestamps or file
// locations. Thus, this functionality should be used to interact with trusted
// systems, not fully arbitrary logs.
